It is only Satan that suggests to you the fear of his Auliya [supporters and friends (polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger)]; so fear them not, but fear Me if you are (true) believers. (Qur’an 3:175)

The journey to unravel Gog and Magog’s mystery has been a unique voyage, since many have grown up hearing Gog and Magog are a nation of short barbaric people who are trapped behind a wall and are waiting to be released at the time of Prophet ‘Iesa (Jesus) [SAW]. This can make it hard for one to accept the information presented. But if we look around and observe behavior of occults and people in position of power and pay attention to their self confessions, much can be learnt. Please we insist again; please research what the Khazars did when they left the barrier and how they are still present with us today but hidden. With all this information of Gog and Magog being presented as a powerful nation may discourage the Muslim brothers and sisters and make one feel hopeless in their mind & heart. But if one remembers why we are on the earth in the first place then the following statement will not discourage a Muslim believer, who has a firm faith. …I have sent such persons (Gog and Magog) that none would dare fight against them. –[MuslimBk 41, Number 7016]

A Muslim believer who has firm faith knows that we are on earth to be tested; everything which Allah has declared for man on earth connects to a test. So a believer who holds firm faith will know Allah has made Gog and Magog a powerful nation for the sole purpose in testing mankind including Gog and Magog themselves. Gog and Magog may seem as an unstoppable force but this does not apply against a believer who possesses a firm faith; this claim can be supported by Hadiths which mentions the Black Banner army due to their faith they will be victorious. To further support this matter of a strong faith being able to overcome negative power can be supported by a Hadith which mentions one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). A Hadith will be used which mentions the figure of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RA) who was once an enemy of Islam who then became a believer and later on became the second Caliph (Leader) in Islam. Umar’s character and faith was a shield against Gog and Magog tribe after they were released and this is supported by a Hadith which will be presented now…

Once ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said, said, “Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah’s Apostle regarding the afflictions?” Hudhaifa replied, “I remember what he said exactly.” ‘Umar said. “Tell (us), you are really a daring man!” Hudhaifa said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘A man’s afflictions (i.e. wrong deeds) concerning his relation to his family, his property and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers, giving in charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.’ ” ‘Umar said, “I don’t mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the sea.” Hudhaifa replied, “O chief of the believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a closed door between you and them.” ‘Umar asked, “Will that door be opened or broken?” Hudhaifa replied, “No, it will be broken.” ‘Umar said, “Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again.” Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, “Did ‘Umar know what that door meant?” He said. “Yes, ‘Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to ‘Umar an authentic narration, not lies.” We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Masruq who asked him, “What does the door stand for?” He said, “Umar.” (Sahih Bukhari Volume 004, Book 056, Hadith Number 786)

In the lifetime of Umar, Gog and Magog were powerless to cause corruption, this was due to the firm faith Umar possessed and the fact that he had good followers. Because of all this he was like a closed door standing between Gog and Magog and their spreading of corruption on earth. This goes to show no matter how much Gog and Magogmay transgress and assume that they are greater than Allah. This is a mistake which they are in because Allah is still in full control over the occurrences of the world.

…And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not. (Qur’an 12:21)

The Hadith states ‘Umar asked, “Will the door be opened or broken?” Hudhaifa replied, “No, it will be broken.” ‘Umar said, “Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again.” The Hadith indicates that the door which stands in front of afflictions will be broken and as the Hadith indicates this door represents Umar. What does this mean? To open a door is a sign of welcome but if a door was to be broken it means force was applied (to take down). So the door to affliction is not welcomed but forced. This means that afflictions in the time of Umar will not be welcomed (unable to pass through Umar’s leadership) since he does not allow the door to be open, so instead the door was forced open. How? The door being broken represented the death of Umar, it represented the way in which Umar passed away which occurred in the form of an assassination, murdering a person is to forcefully take their life.

And after the death of Umar, the afflictions in the world have been steadily increasing to the present age. Umar possessed the quality of a strong faith and good followers; in the present age faith is being erased by the western culture, our defense mechanism is being forced down; allowing a person to be open to afflictions. Furthermore we would not like to call out any name of sects but the image of Umar is appeared to be viewed as a negative concept. A figure of a villain is applied to Umar in a certain sect formed not to long after the death of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RA). Ask yourself, why is this? Because it is believed Umar was assassinated in a plot constructed by the disbelievers, unsurprisingly Khazar tribe (Gog and Magog) came to be known in history 6 years later after the death of Umar when they defeated a Muslim army of Arabia. In the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) he foretold the hole in the barrier of Gog and Magog before he passed away on 632 A.D. The Khazar tribe (Gog and Magog) was released in the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) who passed away in 632 and Umar’s death occurred in 644, this calculates to 12 years for the Khazar tribe to plot against Umar.

(Since calendars didn’t exist in Arabia in the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) therefore we do not know the date/time when Prophet Muhammad (SAW) mentioned the Hadith in his lifetime so the release of Gog and Magog could be slightly few years over 12)

Point being the Khazar tribe (Gog and Magog) was capable of carrying out tactical activities and deploying deception therefore they possessed the ability to infiltrate religion and been able to create a sect after Umar’s death to downgrade his character. Gog and Magog may appear unstoppable because believers of today have lost the value of faith; faith is and was always being targeted all along by the enemies of Islam. Muslims of today have been targeted to follow culture, a culture designed to replace a person’s faith causing him to be defenseless against afflictions widespread in the society. We know in the future the Black Banner Army and Imam Mahdi & Prophet ‘Iesa (SAW) will be a force which can compete with the force of Gog and Magog. But one must not sit back and wait for the Black Banner Army and Imam Mahdi & Prophet ‘Iesa (SAW) assuming everything will be okay, this is the trick of the Devil to make the Muslim Ummah weak.

Allah will only allow victory to the Muslim Ummah when we have earned it; once majority of the Muslims across the world adopt a firm faith then only will Allah grant us with victory. We must better ourselves in Islam adopting a better understanding so that the Muslim children of tomorrow possess faith instead of playing the waiting game and waiting for the Black Banner Army and Imam Mahdi & Prophet ‘Iesa (SAW). The waiting game to wait for the arrival of the Black Banner Army and Imam Mahdi & Prophet ‘Iesa (SAW) and assuming everything will be okay is deception if we are not contributing towards the cause. Whereas even the enemies of Islam are to waiting for the arrival of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) and they are only successful so far because they strive hard for their cause. Yes, please read the Book “Witness to the Dajjal by Taimur Saeed” which can be found in our website (http://aljumaareminder.com/books/) to see how the secret societies (Gog and Magog) are working hard to ensure the Dajjal comes. But Muslims of today are showing no effort or contributing towards the Ummah, but want to wait for the the Black Banner Army and Imam Mahdi & Prophet ‘Iesa (SAW) assuming all will be well.

O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower. (Qur’an 5:54)

You can contribute by building a sense of a firm faith which can be passed on to the coming generations leading to the children which consists of the Black Banner Army to be born. The final conclusion is that Dajjal’s army is striving hard for the arrival of the Dajjal. They plan day and night even as you are reading this; their efforts don’t stop whereas the Muslims of today are showing no effort or contributions towards the Ummah. Victory will only be given to those who work towards it. When the Muslims of today begin working as a family and understand that we are one. Then and only then will the Black Banner Army and Imam Mahdi & Prophet ‘Iesa (SAW) emerge. Let us better ourselves to possess firm faith, pray Salah and keep Allah always on your heart and do not stop with your remembrance of Allah.

Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (Satan etc). So fight you against the friends of Satan; Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Satan. (Qur’an 4:76)
